Thoughts On A Train

By Ashwin Ramanathan

Leaning back against the silent motion I watch sights float by

Small lights disappearing as soon as they come by

Not a sight nor a scenery… but just some pale light at a distance

A small train runs inside similar to what I’m inside… with thoughts that come and go, just like faded lights

All that comes and goes doesn’t necessarily have any meaning …. I understand that meaning gives ambiguity and ambiguity leads to assumptions

Instead I choose to watch them as they go by …..

A sense of calm prevails in my chest …. One that is mix of drowsiness and relief……..

I think maybe this is all that I want out of life…. A persisting feeling that doesn’t care of the past nor concerned of the future ……

No questions no answers….. just me leaning back and watching fading lights at a distant sight …..
